Running an engine without an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve can lead to increased nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and higher combustion temperatures, potentially causing engine knock and reduced fuel efficiency. The EGR valve helps lower these emissions by recirculating some exhaust gas back into the intake manifold, which dilutes the air-fuel mixture. Without it, the engine may still operate, but it may not meet emissions regulations and could experience long-term damage. Additionally, some modern engines may rely on other systems to compensate for the absence of the EGR valve.

Will a 92 tempo run without egr valve?

Yes, your car will run without the EGR valve but there could be some side effects. The EGR burns exhaust gasses which inturn reduce the combistion temp. So you may get lower gas mileage and your car may ping (preignition on acceleration). If it pings get the EGR replaced, pre-ignition will destroy the pistons and rods.


Can you block egr valve off on a terrano?

Blocking off an EGR valve can make the car run rough. The fuel mileage can suffer as well, since the car is designed to have the EGR valve operable.


What effects does it make wen egr valve is not working?

egr valve used to reduce emmisions. the valve will open at driving speeds to reburn exaust gases. when one fails it will usually be in the open position thus the engine will run rough at Idell.


Would a faulty egr valve cause your car to jerk?

A faulty or clogged egr valve can cause an engine to run rough. If stuck or clogged the valve can be cleaned after removal with carburetor cleaner.


Why would a 95 Camry stall at stops but once restarted run fine?

Check the EGR valve. It sounds like your EGR valve is staying open. An EGR valve that is open at idle will cause a car to stall. An EGR should be closed at idle and open when you are driving around.

Where is the EGR valve on a 1997 Geo Tracker?

AnswerIt's under the EGR modular. The EGR modular is on the top of the engine on the passangers side close to the fire wall and looks like a black hockey puck. Follow the very short vaccum line off of it to the EGR valve. 2 hoses run to the EGR switch and the bottom 1 runs to the EGR valve.
